I'm sort of from the camp that's 50/50 with micro-transactions. While I'm not "thrilled" so far, it hasn't gotten to the point you need this "extra stuff" to beat & enjoy the game. However, I am afraid eventually it could get worse and there may even be games in the future the are broken & unplayable without the best dlc gun, best dlc armor, or best dlc sword. However, I'll be happy if I'm wrong!
EA has published good games but let's be honest, they are wallet raping hustlers too. However, I wouldn't say they're worse than capcom and when it comes to outright lies, gearbox is king of the bullshit!
It's difficult not to find dirt on game companies so sometimes you just gotta choose your battles carefully. Aka, put your money on games that are generous with content or ones that are trying to innovate. Support good games and refuse to buy shit games!
As for American McGee? I enjoyed Alice Madness Returns but I think him turning his nose up at the PS4 is a bit pretentious.
However, "the press" has this way of warping what people say and blowing it out of proportion. I will also concur not every game publisher can afford to keep up with "modern technologies". Making AAA games has become as expensive as creating Hollywood movies.
